I really think this kid could be thee signing of the season. From the little i have seen and read about him he appears to have all the tools in his locker that Poch is looking for.





Viagra taken, and semi about to happen............sometime.........possibly..........maybe...........:(


He's been in his plans a long time.

Never been concerned about Berahino. Feels like one of those one where we got very early Intel on and thus has seemed like it has dragged on forever, causing people to doubt it multiple times over. Convinced this will be done.

It's the CM issue that has been causing me mild worry. Hasn't really felt like we've been odds on to grab any of the guys mentioned so far, but we can at least hope that things are rumbling away positively in the background and even if Bender isn't a go that we have something else decent tucked up our sleeve.

Negotiating..will happen..crossing t dotting i's.

Keep calm put the beheading on hold..x

This sounds promising, hopeful we'll have 2 new forward players to replace Ade and RS.
I wonder if we'll get a CM as well or use Dier/Toby if we can't get who we want.
Hope we don't buy a lower level player than our current target/targets at CM if that is the case.

I think the only guarantee from this summer and the last 4 is that everyone on this thread is bound to lose their mind at least once whether that be negative or positive.

ITK having that upswing type of day. Couldn't be happier.

Crossing the 't's and dotting the 'i's can take a fair while though...

Levy: "There we go, Jeremy, a cheque for eighteen million"
Peace: "You just need to cross that 't' in 'eighteen', Daniel."
Levy: 'Silly me, there we go"
Peace: "You appear to have crossed the two 'e's and the n too, Daniel. Now it looks like it reads 'eight million'"
Levy: "Oops, my mistake"
Peace: "Yeah. Just like the last five times..."

Good to hear an update from Ghostfarmo on Berahino, sounds like there hasn't been any big setbacks thus far.

Yep, "...will happen..." is about as promising as it gets. Although the usual 'things can change' application of salt would be advisable.

Ss we will always need 1 or 2 players. Even if we won the league we'd still be looking for that final piece of the puzzle.

And maybe a manager too! Always some who want a new manager..

I think there was ITK that Poch was nonplussed about using Soldado or not. Obviously he wanted an upgrade but as Bobby wasn't a bad egg around the camp, he was happy to use him if he had too. Can't remember which ITK reported that.

English 'nonplussed' or United States 'nonplussed'? Genuine question, as I would like to know what Poch's reaction was.

Not really- it's a conversation borne out of Soldado's imminent departure and the implications on future purchases which have been alluded to by some itk. There's far more irrelevant posts prior to mine.

The last time Soldado was even mentioned was the 5th August. I think if you check with @Archibald&Crooks that is probably ample time to take the discussion to the player thread and leave this one clear. That way people might have the opportunity to spot Ghostofarmo's ITK and actually comment on Berahino instead?!!

Interesting to understand what the issue is with Berahino and whether it is player side or Club side. GhostofArmo's info could be taken either way. So either Berahino contract negotiations or WBA are sorting the fee, add ons etc... I hope this comes off sooner rather than later so we can focus on the last piece of the jigsaw.

Pleased to hear this as I think he'd be great for us - but if we are still negotiating there is still room for it to go wrong (I.e City come in for him or he changes mind i.e Werner)

What I can take from this is that we are actively aware of our weaknesses and been very prudent this window - going after signings with thought as opposed to scattergun approach. If we don't end up with Berahino then Its likely to be an outside factor and although it would be a downer for us fans we shouldn't blame the hierarchy this time around.

I appreciate your point. My preceding post discussed Berahino being more likely now that Soldado is on the verge of going, so if read with the one you commented one it is probably more relevant than it seemed. I still maintain there are multiple posts here with much less relevancy (i.e. calling NJie Nigel) that might be worth criticising before mine.

Surprised more isn't being made of some kind of Berahino / Fazio swap deal. Their interest in Fazio was trailed in the press again today including local Birmingham-based papers who often get good info. This type of deal is hard to make work I know (perhaps why the ITK about lots of crossing t's etc) but it would seem to make sense for both sides. They get the type of centre half Pulls likes and £12- 15m to cover Rondon. We get our primary target and loose a centre half we don't need (with 4 first teams and the likes of Carter Vickers behind them). I'd also guess that Fazio's wages would cover a large part of Berahino's.
